US saved from terrorism as evil domain is taken down

[PaulH]

"Homeland security is an umbrella term for security efforts to protect the United States against terrorist activity"

US authorities have seized the domain of the hugely popular sports streaming and P2P download site Rojadirecta. The site, which is one of the most visited sites on the Internet, lost its .org domain which now redirects to a notice from DOJ/ICE. Rojadirecta is an unusual target because two courts in Spain have ruled that the site operates legally, and other than the .org domain the site has no links to the US.

Amazing, the World Police strikes again

I reckon that is a 'shot own foot' issue...

I had ever heard of rojadirecta - but I have now, and google has very kindly, and very quickly ranked their IP address along with links to their new alternative domains:

www.rojadirecta.me
www.rojadirecta.es
www.rojadirecta.in

... :sigh: ....  'security forces' of this calibre should stick to doing cavity searches

I have a lot to say on the topic, but I don't want to go against our TOS and it would be more of a rant than anything else.
